does anyone know of a definitive list of the above showing which ones are currently enabled or are scheduled for same.
ive tried ireland offline and eircoms website etc but nowhere seem to have this info available.
thanks, but that is not what i am looking for. what i would like to see is a list of exchanges not towns as i live in a quite heavily populated area just 2 miles from one of the biggest towns in the country and eircom are telling me my exchange (which is new) is not enabled but should be by sept-oct which i felt was just bs to get me off the phone. i do know that at least 2 exchanges in the town are enabled but thats not much good to me. ive already seen the list above and it is good propaganda but does not mean much unless you live right in the centre of one of the places mentioned. a listing of actual exchange names as is freely available in the uk would be a million times more useful
the list you mentioned is with Comreg and is a state secret (shhhhhh) to which the public is not entitled . to cloud the issue further, some numbers that show as being on the Main Exchange in ...say ...Tullamore as far as Comreg are concerned are actually on a sub exchange of the Main Exchange which does not have DSL installed.
email info@comreg.ie and ask them why the public are not entitled to this information .
my experience of them is that they will waffle out something after a month or two.
There may also be some LLU (Local Loop Unbundled) exchanges in which operators other than eircom have their own equipment so the eircom list may not be authoritative. On the other hand, with the obvious exception of Smart, the LLU products are probably still more likely to support business rather than residential products with most operators still re-selling eircom's i-Stream (?) wholesale ADSL packages.
most of Ireland cannot and will not get dsl, an exchange covers 70km2 and 250 or so are enabled so that 17500 Km2 are covered by DSL in a land area of 70000 km2 .
